Yes, that's just what my phone needs: for the OS to be an ARM build of the most bloated Linux distro. My compact car also needs a Chinese tractor motor because if I remove all the seats, electrics and trim it will fit.

The BBC link is no better really, it's the Ubuntu site paraphrased with soundbites from Mr Ubuntu. Then someone speaks sense right at the end, but by then I would imagine less patient readers than me would have moved on to another page.

After using mini headlines including POWERFUL APPS and ADVANCED VOICE CONTROL there is a small paragraph at the bottom which speaks sense:

Quote:

One analyst suggested the news would raise awareness of the Ubuntu system, but was sceptical about its chances of success.

"It's an impressive move by Ubuntu but ultimately I don't think it's a smart move," said Chris Green, principal technology analyst at Davies Murphy Group Europe.

"They are not the first company to try and drop a desktop operating system on a mobile device and nobody has ever been able to make it work. Microsoft tried to foist something that looked and felt like normal Windows on a mobile phone and they had to screw it up and develop a separate phone system.

"If you look at the platforms that thrive at the moment it's the ones that have diverged and had a platform designed for mobile on their mobile devices and a platform designed for conventional PCs on those."

I posted it here because I felt the same. There's not a lot of information.

I figured, some of you have developer or at-least flamming experience on the issue at hand, so this could produce the information we are seeking._________________Do not pray for an easy life, pray for the strength to endure a difficult one. -- Bruce Lee

So long as they keep releasing their modifications and "progress" back into the FOSS community I don't see how he can hurt anything, and in fact I believe it is a "Good Thing" even though I don't use any of their stuff, nor do I plan to._________________
